One of Guantanamo Suicides Not Informed He Was Scheduled for Release...

'Mark Denbeaux, an American law professor who represents some of the foreign prisoners at the US-run jail for terrorism suspects in Cuba, told the BBC World Service that Mani Shaman Turki al-Habardi al-Utaybi was among 141 prisoners due to be released. Mr Utaybi, a Saudi national, had not been informed of being declared "safe person, free to be released" because US officials had not yet decided which country he would be sent to, Mr Denbeaux said.

Mr Denbeaux said his client had killed himself out of hopelessness. "His despair was great enough and in his ignorance he went and killed himself," Mr Denbeaux said, adding that many other Guant�namo detainees felt similarly hopeless.' http://talkleft.com/new_archives/015058.html

2. But it was a PR stunt remember?

Just a PR stunt to make America look bad. Yeah, that's all it was. This guy was just some hotshot kid from Ogilvy who took his client brief a bit too far.

Can things get any worse? Don't answer that.

4. Gosh why didn't they just ask him?

If Shaman Turki al-Habardi al-Utaybi was indeed a 'safe person, free to be released', then why not just ask him which country he would like to be released to?

Released, or delivered to one of our other third party outposts of the American Gulag for some more 'rendition'?
